Gustav Neckel
Gustav Karl Paul Christoph Neckel (born January 17, 1878 in Wismar , † November 24, 1940 in Dresden ) was a German Germanic and Scandinavian Medievalist .
His father Gustav (1844–1923) was a factory owner and businessman. His mother Amanda, b. Paetow, lived from 1854 to 1914.
In 1896 he graduated from high school in Wismar. This was followed by studying German Philology in Munich (1896–1897 with H. Paul), in Leipzig (1897–1898 with E. Sievers) and in Berlin (1898–1902 with Andreas Heusler ). In 1900 he received his doctorate from Heusler. He initially worked as a teacher. In 1909 Neckel received his habilitation and became a private lecturer . From 1911 he was an associate professor for Nordic philology at the University of Heidelberg, succeeding Bernhard Kahle . 1919–1920 associate professor in Berlin. From the summer semester 1920–1935 he was a full professor for German studies in Berlin, particularly for Nordic languages, in succession to Heusler. This chair was transferred to the University of Göttingen in 1935 - apparently because of a conflict with Bernhard Kummer - and Neckel was appointed director of the new department for Nordic Philology in the Department of German Philology. In 1933 he and other representatives from the Volkish camp called for the establishment of the German Faith Movement .
His research interests included Germanic antiquity and Nordic philology. Wilhelm Wissmann is considered his student.
